Auto Fabrica “Type 18” BMW R NineT

If there was ever a bike that looked like it was built for Anime duty, it’s Auto Fabrica’s new “Type 18” custom build for BMW Motorrad. Half moto, half android, the Type 18 is both beautifully simple and starkly futuristic. It uses 3D printing technology, as well as handcrafted aluminum pieces, on top of the R NineT Scrambler’s frame. The artful curvature of the matte black exhaust pipes contrasts nicely with the angular 3D printed front turn signal elements and fairing pieces. The thin seat and floating taillight are both custom made by Auto Fabrica, allowing the huge rear wheel to have almost a life of its own. The fact that BMW Motorrad approved of this build just goes to show the skill and style exhibited by the UK custom shop.

[Shop]We might not all agree on watches, wallets or other pieces of the everyday carry, but the one thing we can all agree on is our mutual love of building things out of small bricks. Forget plastic building bricks that can only be used with specific mats and upgrade your conference call and boring meeting building with this 1:12 scale mini cinder block pallet set. With 24 miniature cinder blocks and one pallet per set, this has everything you need to build a great foundation for the big box creation of your dreams. Whether you’re making a small creation of your own devising with the 24 pieces that come with it, or adding multiples to build something more grandiose, this is the best way to build when you’re not using plastic.
